Chapter 3 – Packing, transport and storage
Only skilled personnel who are familiar with the lift and this manual shall be allowed to carry out
packing, lifting, handling, transport and unpacking operations.
3.1 Transport and package removal
ATTENTION: moving and positioning operations can be very dangerous if not performed with
the utmost caution. Send bystanders away; clean, clear and delimit the installation site;
check the integrity and suitability of the available means; do not touch the suspended loads
and stay at a safe distance from them; move the suspended loads at not more than 20cm
height from ground; carefully follow the instructions given below; in case of doubt do not
persist.
For transport and volume reasons, the lift is supplied partially disassembled. The different parts are joint
together to allow a safe transport and handling. Transport of the lift must be performed by suitable means.
Avoid any damage during handling.
3.2 Lifting and handling
When loading/unloading or transporting the equipment to the site, be sure to use suitable loading (e.g.
cranes, trucks) and hoisting means. Be sure also to hoist and transport the components securely so that
they cannot drop, taking into consideration the package’s size, weight and centre of gravity and it’s
fragile parts.
Hoist and handle only one package at a time
3.3 Storage and stacking of packages
Packages must be stored in a covered place, out of direct sunlight and in low humidity, at a temperature
between -10℃and +40℃.
Stacking is not recommended: the package’s narrow base, as well as its considerable weight and size
make it difficult and hazardous.
3.4 Delivery and check of packages
When the lift is delivered, check for possible damages due to transport and storage, verify that what is
specified in the manufacturer’s confirmation of order is included. In case of damage in transit, the
customer must immediately inform the carrier of the problem.
Packages must be opened paying attention not to cause damage to people (Keep a safe distance when
opening straps) and parts of the lift (be careful the objects do not drop from the package when
opening).

Chapter 4 – Product description
The lift is composed by two symmetric vertical posts, which must be safely anchored to the ground. The
posts are equipped with lifting carriages with electro-hydraulic control system.
The lift is operated by an electric motor controlling a hydraulic pump, which delivers the hydraulic fluid
to the cylinders at the bottom of the posts for lifting carriages with the sole purpose of performing
motor vehicle service, repairing and inspection.
Forbid to use for washing and spraying vehicles
Forbid to lift vehicle which weight is over 4000kg
Forbid to park car.
Any other use not described is to be considered as improper and irrational, and thus it will be under the
whole responsibility of the operator.
Follow the instructions given by this guide carefully to grant the machine a correct function, efficiency
and a long working life. Keep this guide as well as all the supplied technical literature in a safe place
close to the lift in order to help the users to consult it whenever necessary. The technical literature is an
integral part of the lift and it must always follow the product, even in case of sale.
Follow the directions given by this guide with the utmost attention: the Constructor declines all
responsibility for any damage due to negligence and non-observance of the herewith-contained
instructions.
The non-observance of herewith-contained instructions will automatically involve the immediate lapse
of warranty.

Chapter 7 Installation
Only skilled technicians, appointed by the manufacturer, or by authorized dealers, must be
allowed to carry out installation. Serious da
mage to people and to the lift can be caused if
installations are made by unskilled personnel.
Before carrying out any operations, remember to insert the safety piece of wood
between the lower booms and the base frame.
7.1 Checking for room suitability
The lift has been designed to be used in covered and sheltered places free of overhead obstructions.
The place of installation must not be next to washing areas, painting workbenches, solvent or varnish
deposits. The installation near to rooms, where a dangerous situation of explosion can occur, is strictly
forbidden. The relevant standards of the local Health and Safety at Work regulations, for instance, with
respect to minimum distance to wall or other equipment, escapes and the like, must be observed.
7.2 Lighting
Lighting must be carried out according to the effective regulations of the place of installation. All area
next to the lift must be well and uniformly lit.
7.3 Installation surface
The lift must be placed on level floor and sufficiently resistant. The surface must be suitable for bearing
maximum stress values, also in unfavorable working conditions. For installations on raised surface,
compliance with the maximum carrying capacity of the surface is recommended.
A level floor is suggested
for proper installation. Small differences in floor slope
may be compensated for by proper shimming. Any major slope change will affect
the level lifting performance. If a floor is of questionable slope (more than 3mm
side to side or 5mm within the fill l
ength of lift), considering to pour the new
concrete slab.
16

7.4 Structure positioning and installation
To install the lift, set some supports under the post upper ends, remove the pallets and position the posts,
one at a time, according to the diagram. Use a lifting system having minimum 500kg capacity.
Operations to be executed for mounting and installation:
Once you have positioned the two posts, mark the position of their anchor holes on the floor at the
correct distance and in a way that they are perfectly aligned.
Use a bit of 20mm to drill 10 anchor holes at a depth of 100mm minimum. Clean both holes and floor
from dust.
Introduce the anchor bolts M20 by hammering slightly. Set the anchor bolts at the other post checking their
positioning and alignment. Then introduce them by hammering slightly.
Before tightening the bolts by nuts, check that the two posts are well leveled.
Tighten the nuts by torque wrench setting at 150 Nm. If the bolts idle, they must be replaced by
bigger ones.
Only after having performed the above mentioned. operations you can go on mounting and
connecting the hydraulic and electric circuits.
Levelling the posts by means of a spirit level allows a correct installation of the different parts as well as
correct connections.

fitting.
4) Using base plate cover, move posts in or out for best fitment internal post and external post
dimensions supplied are a guide only.
5) Drill, bolt and shim level both posts, using M20 tru-bolts supplied. Tighten to a
minimum 150nm of torque.
6) Attach electrical cables: From control box to motor refer, to power post limit switch, safety
lock solenoid cable.
7) Electrician to connect to mains supply.
8) Bleed air from hydraulic system ie: Loosen hydraulic hose on slave post, press up
button and bleed into container.
9) Adjust balance cables, so both carriage locks engage at the same time.
